In Kansas, Republicans oppose megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton as “too awake and too weak”.

“His sermons are essentially a carbon copy of the Democratic National Committee’s agenda,” said Brent Robertsonchief of staff to Hamilton’s opponent, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), pointing to a past sermon in which Hamilton urged his followers to reduce their carbon footprint.
